Voter turnout rose to 50.39 percent in Clallam County as elections officials in that county added 2,244 ballots Friday afternoon to the count of Tuesday’s school levy elections, which changed no outcomes.

Passage rates for the property tax levy requests from the Sequim and Quillayute Valley school districts remained at about two-thirds after Clallam County’s updated count, Auditor Patty Rosand reported Friday afternoon.

Only a simple majority is required to pass.

In the two school districts, 12,408 ballots have been returned out of 24,622 mailed to Clallam County registered voters.

With only a few ballots in each district, Jefferson County elections officials decided not to count again until just before the election is certified Feb. 26.

Voter turnout in Jefferson County was 44.60 percent in the two districts, with 183 ballots returned out of 405 mailed.

Rosand said Friday her office will not update the count until certification day.

Ballots flagged for the canvass board with missing or potentially mismatched signatures will make up the bulk of that count.

The districtwide count for Sequim’s four-year maintenance levy is now 7,601 in favor, or 67.6 percent, to 3,643 against, or 32.4 percent. On Tuesday, it passed by 67.17 percent.

The four-year maintenance-and-operations levy will provide $5.8 million from 2014 to 2017.

Approval of the one-year bus-replacement levy is now 7,301 in favor, or 64.9 percent, to 3,949 against, or 35 percent. On Tuesday, it passed by 64.63 percent.
